USPS Package

Nothing like a package from the postal service did help get your sewing mojo going again.

Though I have not been sewing as much I did some buying. More patterns of course, like I don't have a chest of drawers and plastic bins full of them now. But I didn't have these. I ordered several patterns from Nancy's Notions along with some embroidery cards and booklets. They arrived on Thursday but I attended our ASG meeting that night so did not have time to look at my treasures.

Friday AM before work I opened my package and was excited to see the patterns and other goodies. Just enough boost to get my to look at my fabric sitting on the cutting table ready to sew.

After grocery shopping last evening, I spent time on my jacket. As Shannon commented once you sew one seam you may decided to sew some more. Once I sewed one dart well I had to do them all! It felt good.

Today DH and I are going to Greensboro, NC to shop. There are a couple of sewing shops there and if I see one we will stop!!! I will be sewing tonight and tomorrow. It really feels good to be planning my next moves.

I am working on getting the sewing/office room put together. I may have to buy one of those metal sheds to go behind the house just for sewing related items. I can't wait to sew something in the near future.

After 14 years in this house, it is amazing how much one can obtain. Downsizing and moving is proving to be way more involved than I originally thought/planned. I knew we were going to go smaller; I thought I was doing well with starting to eliminate "stuff".

I still have way more stuff to do something with. I thought about selling patterns and fabric on line but that requires time to take photos and then post on eBay or some other source. I saw this as one more obstacle in my long list of things to do!

I have yet to sew anything since I retired; and here it is I thought I would be sewing up a storm. Just can't get the mojo going. Once we move and get settled, I know I will be sewing again. Until then, I am packing up more of my fabric collection.

I donated 4 large trash bags of fabric to Goodwill along with two trash bags of patterns. I also gave 2 bags of fabric to a young girl who has just started sewing and the look on h…
